MIT App Inventor for Android is an open-source web application originally provided by Google, and now maintained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It allows newcomers to computer programming to create software applications for the Android operating system (OS).
Digital Design Delivery Systems is a course that combines all skills learned through the academy. Adobe Premiere Pro and InDesign are the final certifications, along with Adobe After Effects. Afterwards, students move on to app creation.
Adobe Premiere Pro
Premiere Pro is a video editing software package suitable for both amateur enthusiasts and professionals. It can be used alone, or alongside other applications such as Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, etc. Premiere is a powerful editing tool, capable of producing broadcast-quality and high-definition video. It is a very popular package amongst video enthusiasts and professionals, although other packages are usually preferred for the very top level of television production. Premiere also has a nice clean interface which is relatively easy to use for people of all skill levels
Adobe InDesign
InDesign is a desktop publishing software application produced by Adobe Systems. It can be used to create works such as posters, flyers, brochures, magazines, newspapers, and books. The newest versions of InDesign allow for a variety of digital publication methods ranging from interactive PDFs to full-fledged iPad applications. You will develop an understanding of basic InDesign concepts and learn to utilize its core set of tools.
Adobe After Effects
With Adobe After Effects you can create, composite, and stylize 2D footage layers in 3D space. Adobe After Effects serves a different role depending on the users needs. For example, an indie VFX artist might only use After Effects for compositing 3D rendered footage. A video editor might use After Effects more for title design, and an animator might use it for creating 2D cartoon characters. The reason why so many people have trouble defining what After Effects does is simply due to the fact that it does so many things — and does them well.
